Home of the FREE Computer Repair Clinic
We are one of the premier technology training centers in Pinellas County. Our members have their choice of attending over 30 computer and Internet user groups, classes and seminars each month. See a complete listing of Special Interest Groups here.
We also offer structured classes. While we do charge as little as $5 per classroom hour for some classes, most of our resources are shared with our members for free.
The Tampa Bay Technology Center offers FREE computer repair to our members at our Resource Center in Clearwater. Once each year each member may bring in a computer for an annual tune-up or virus removal. If you need additional visits we will ask you for a $20 co-pay each visit.
Our Podcast Studio is equipped for training and producing.
We would love to have you join us! Just complete our online form.
